Yara Biostimulants

YaraAmplix™ - Enhance your crops' natural potential in harmony with nature

YaraAmplix™ is our portfolio of biostimulant technology being phased in this year, designed to improve nutrient use efficiency, support soil health, increase yield and amplify natural crop processes and resilience to adapt to stress in changing climate conditions. Biostimulants differ from other agricultural inputs such as fertilisers as they stimulate natural processes independently of the product’s nutrient content.

Biostimulants have a positive impact on both nature and climate, promoting to grow a nature-positive food future. 

What are the benefits of Biostimulants?

• Robust - Biostimulants make crops more robust. They improve crop quality and contribute to more vigorous and healthy plants.
• Resilient - Biostimulants make crops more resilient by enhancing plants' tolerance to abiotic stress, such as drought or extreme temperatures.
• Responsive - Biostimulants are easily adaptable to crops needs throughout the crops cycle. They are part of a full range of crop nutrition solutions.

In combination with organic and mineral fertilizers, biostimulants can make a real difference for farmers who need to adopt climate-positive practices while tackling food loss and waste and ensuring farms’ profitability. 

1. Nutrient use efficiency: Biostimulants improve nutrient use efciency by supporting better root development so that plants can absorb more nutrients and water or by improving nutrient availability in soil. All these functions can contribute to reducing nutrient losses to the environment and optimizing fertiliser use. 
2. Resistance/tolerance to climate change: Biostimulants can enhance plants’ tolerance to abiotic stress, such as drought or extreme temperatures. The use of biostimulants can therefore help mitigate the negative impact of climate change and extreme weather events. This is important for farmers who need to increasingly adapt their practices to changing and challenging climatic conditions. 
3. Soil health: Some biostimulants can improve soil health and fertility by improving soil parameters and functions. This can also have a positive impact on soil restoration and water use efciency, a key contribution that ensures long-term soil fertility. 
4. Crop quality: Biostimulants can improve crop quality and contribute to more vigorous and healthy plants, which in turn can lead to less food waste. At the same time, they can improve the quality and quantity of the yield and therefore keep the farmer’s business proftable and sustainable. Tackling food loss and waste is key to achieving a sustainable food system.
